Thank you and Congrats! Below is their note about their disaster risks and how the Kit may help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their Head of Reference writes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Lynnfield Public Library is susceptible to flooding in our basement area due to our proximity to a stream. This stream runs through a culvert that routinely backs up and overflows into the back parking lot adjacent to the building. The basement houses our adult fiction &amp; mystery collections, storage for our Friends organization, and building mechanicals. Over the last two decades we have had two major floods that damaged collections and mechanicals such as the elevator.<\/strong><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sewage, water, and fire suppression system pipes run through the ceiling over parts of these collections. The janitor\u2019s closet \u2013 which contains a water heater, faucet, and slop sink \u2013 is located on the first floor over part of the fiction collection in the basement. Sewage back-ups and overflow from the janitor\u2019s closet have caused two major instances of collection damage.<\/strong><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Our Genealogy Room collection recently sustained damage from fire suppression system malfunctions: this led to water &amp; mold damage on several books. The mold damage was severe and the items had to be discarded. (The suppression system developed a slow leak in a poorly lit, rarely used corner of the genealogy room, so damage was not discovered immediately. Please see attached pictures.) I used materials from a disaster recovery kit to protect parts of the collection from additional water damage while the pipe was repaired.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"712\" height=\"949\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mblc.state.ma.us\/costepma\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Lynnfield-Public-Library_Mold-damaged-book_-genealogy-room-1.jpg?resize=712%2C949&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2117\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mblc.state.ma.us\/costepma\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Lynnfield-Public-Library_Mold-damaged-book_-genealogy-room-1-rotated.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mblc.state.ma.us\/costepma\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Lynnfield-Public-Library_Mold-damaged-book_-genealogy-room-1-rotated.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mblc.state.ma.us\/costepma\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Lynnfield-Public-Library_Mold-damaged-book_-genealogy-room-1-rotated.jpg?resize=1152%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1152w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mblc.state.ma.us\/costepma\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Lynnfield-Public-Library_Mold-damaged-book_-genealogy-room-1-rotated.jpg?resize=1536%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mblc.state.ma.us\/costepma\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Lynnfield-Public-Library_Mold-damaged-book_-genealogy-room-1-rotated.jpg?resize=1080%2C1440&amp;ssl=1 1080w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mblc.state.ma.us\/costepma\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Lynnfield-Public-Library_Mold-damaged-book_-genealogy-room-1-rotated.jpg?w=1814&amp;ssl=1 1814w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mblc.state.ma.us\/costepma\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Lynnfield-Public-Library_Mold-damaged-book_-genealogy-room-1-rotated.jpg?w=1424&amp;ssl=1 1424w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 712px) 100vw, 712px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"712\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mblc.state.ma.us\/costepma\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Lynnfield-Public-Library_Fire-suppression-pipe_source-of-leak-in-genealogy-room.jpg?resize=712%2C534&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2119\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mblc.state.ma.us\/costepma\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Lynnfield-Public-Library_Fire-suppression-pipe_source-of-leak-in-genealogy-room-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mblc.state.ma.us\/costepma\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Lynnfield-Public-Library_Fire-suppression-pipe_source-of-leak-in-genealogy-room-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mblc.state.ma.us\/costepma\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Lynnfield-Public-Library_Fire-suppression-pipe_source-of-leak-in-genealogy-room-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mblc.state.ma.us\/costepma\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Lynnfield-Public-Library_Fire-suppression-pipe_source-of-leak-in-genealogy-room-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mblc.state.ma.us\/costepma\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Lynnfield-Public-Library_Fire-suppression-pipe_source-of-leak-in-genealogy-room-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mblc.state.ma.us\/costepma\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Lynnfield-Public-Library_Fire-suppression-pipe_source-of-leak-in-genealogy-room-scaled.jpg?resize=1080%2C810&amp;ssl=1 1080w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mblc.state.ma.us\/costepma\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Lynnfield-Public-Library_Fire-suppression-pipe_source-of-leak-in-genealogy-room-scaled.jpg?w=1424&amp;ssl=1 1424w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mblc.state.ma.us\/costepma\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Lynnfield-Public-Library_Fire-suppression-pipe_source-of-leak-in-genealogy-room-scaled.jpg?w=2136&amp;ssl=1 2136w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 712px) 100vw, 712px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THANK YOU to the Foundation for Advancement in Conservation (FAIC) and the National&nbsp;Center for Preservation Technology and Training (NCPTT) for the opportunity to distribute 8&nbsp;Collections Recovery Kits&nbsp;to our COSTEP MA community!
